Pic right before a couple of last minutes changes. Went to microcenter for some ram, and noticed they just stocked a board that they didn't have last week. Made an extra trip to switch from the Ace to the Godlike

Chassis ships with handy cover.

Let's take a quick look

Dang. Comes with lots of stuff

Sweet

Well packaged

Quality cloth bag like what the cable mod cables come in

*drool

Wait, this comes with a streaming card?

Wow

Tidy

Ohhhh yea

Omg

They really packed this box with lots of goodies

Soooo satisfying

Close, but I'm happy all 95mm of this rad assembly clears the ram.

Learning how handy it is building on a tool box. Makes keeping the area clean and organized an easy task.

Tight run
Not sure how I feel...

No bueno

Installing Gpu blocks

And making them single slot

Looks like push pull will fit on the front. Good thing I have extra ml's lying around

Good opportunity to make the reservoir area look more spiffy

There's a couple of screw taps we can use here. Hopefully they're 6/32's?

This might actually work.

I'll take it!

We incorporated a piano hinge for easy port access on the top rad. Couple of extra fill ports never hurt!

Lots of test fitting

GPU 2 is done!

Heading out to the workshop, how convenient is it to just grab a few things and go?

Or the stress these cables are under

Second coat?

Oh yes. Second coat!

2 piece mud flap????

Drain port

Let's replace the 50mm extension with a ball valve shall we?

The phanteks hub wasn't working right.
Going back to the good Ole swiftech!

Now this seems like a good idea.
Have to be careful because where the build goes from here can either make or break the aesthetic I'm after. 16' aluminum does a fantastic job both hiding our removal of phanteks nifty little slide system.
This mod was critical to adding additional cable management space while simultaneously relieving the cable stress and hiding a few other things

Making sort of a notch style pump bracket for mid plate
Time to cut!

MC finally restocked the 9900k!

Gotta have good tools if you're going to constantly test fit things throughout the build

Testing the ssd's

Finally

This is where the machine spends its nights

Eyeballing the loop pattern. Lots of possibilities

So far so go-wait, what happened? Lol

Slow and steady.

Chris is just full of brilliant ideas

Omg

Horse shoes too much?

Nah

And we're leak testing!

So far so good

God I want to light this up

Holy shi-

Joy

❤️

Project X

Phanteks Evolv x chassis was used for this one. I wanted to emphasize on water cooling, so a few modifications were done to the case in order to accommodate heftier custom loop components.

The build is almost done, still deciding between solid cloud white Or solid azure blueDon't have Alot of free time these days, but I'll most likely be swapping out the only cables in sight (4 pcie cables) Will be using distilled water until I'm 100% sure.
